Ratio of molar heat capacity at constant pressure and at constant volume for monoatomic and diatomic gas is?
Ratio of molar heat capacity at constant pressure and at constant volume for monoatomic and diatomic gas is?
25 : 21
21 : 25
16 : 25
25 : 16
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is(A): 25 : 21
\(\frac{5}{3}\)/\(\frac{7}{5}\) \(\Rightarrow\)\(\frac{5}{3}\)x\(\frac{7}{5}\) = \(\frac{25}{21}\)

Concepts Used:
Specific Heat Capacity
Specific heat of a solid or liquid is the amount of heat that raises the temperature of a unit mass of the solid through 1°C.
Molar Specific Heat:
The Molar specific heat of a solid or liquid of a material is the heat that you provide to raise the temperature of one mole of solid or liquid through 1K or 1°C.
Specific Heat at Constant Pressure or Volume:
The volume of solid remains constant when heated through a small range of temperature. This is known as specific heat at a constant volume. It is denoted as CV.
The pressure of solid remains constant when heated through a small range of temperature. This is known as specific heat at constant pressure which can be denoted as CP.
